Mouse Speed: This allows you to adjust your mouse
sensitivity. The higher you set the speed, the faster
your character will turn in relation to mouse
movement.
Always Run: Set this to Yes if you do not want to hold
down the Run button in order to move quickly.
Invert Mouse: This gives the mouse a different control
technique. If you push the mouse forward, you will
"nose down", and if you pull the mouse back it will
"nose up".
Lookspring: Returns your view immediately to straight
ahead when you release the look up or look down key.
Otherwise, you must move forward a step or two before
your view snaps back. Lookspring does not work

key, then this option causes you to sidestep
10 instead of turn when you try to move left or right.

VISUALS
Driver: You have 2 choices under Video Driver. These are
3Dfx OpenGL and standard OpenGL. Your system may
not support 3Dfx or standard OpenGL. You won’t be
able to run Kingpin without an OpenGL compatible card.
Video Mode: Choose between the resolution modes that
Kingpin supports.
Screen Size: The screen size slider controls the size of the
game area on the screen. Reducing the screen size will
usually result in higher performance.
Brightness: The brightness slider controls the brightness
of the screen.
Fullscreen: This selects fullscreen or windowed rendering.
Texture Quality: The texture quality slider
12 determines the overall crispness of textures with
OpenGL renderers. Better quality results in
lower performance.
8-bit Textures: 8-bit texture support is available on some
graphics chipsets. Enabling 8-bit textures reduces
visual quality while improving performance.
Sync Every Frame(3dfx users only): Turning this on removes
"tearing" by optimizing the renderer for your
hardware.
Shadows: Toggling the shadows off decreases the
character polygon counts by half. Helps performance if
turned off.
Fog: Environmental fog can be toggled on and off with
this option. Helps performance if turned off.
Pain skins: Each character in the game has two distinct
pain skins for each of their 15 body segments.
Decrease to 1 or None to get improved performance.
If you make a mistake and would like to reset the visual
controls, then select Reset the Defaults from the bottom of
the menu.

keys, or by sliding the mouse in the desired direction.
Running: If you prefer to always run during the game,
open the Main menu, then the Options menu, then the
Customize Controls menu, and select Always Run. With
"Always Run" activated the Shift keys cause you to
"Sneak" (move undetected).
Shooting: Tap the Ctrl key or the left mouse button to
fire. Hold the shooting key down to keep firing.

A D D I T I O NAL CONTROLS
AND HINTS
If you want to survive for more than a few minutes in the
world of Kingpin you'll need to know a few things. First,
forget about killing everyone that you see. The people
that you meet on the street will often have valuable
information, so if they aren't hostile towards you, talk to
them.
The following are the essential new keys that you will
need to know to play the game:
HOLSTER WEAPON - DEFAULT KEY "G"
15
This key will toggle your weapon up and down.
kingpin.C1 5/7/02 11:07 am Page 16
This may not seem like a big deal, but in the world of
Kingpin every character pays strict attention to your
intentions; if they see you approaching with a weapon out,
they might just shoot first and ask questions later. When
cruising the streets it is advisable to keep your weapon
lowered. If it looks like someone wants to get busy, all
you'll need to do is press your fire key (default is "left
mouse button") and your weapon will be automatically
raised. If someone tells you to "...drop your weapon!",
you'll generally have about 2-3 seconds to holster your
weapon; unless, of course, you decide to start blasting.
TALK - DEFAULT KEYS "Y", "X"
These two keys let you speak to other characters in the
game. When you approach another character, you can
initiate conversation by using either the "y" (positive/yes)
key, or the "x" (negative/insult) key. If someone asks
you a question, "y" will be a "yes", and "x" will mean
"no". There are a lot of ways for conversations to go,
and sometimes you might actually want to insult someone
to intimidate them.
GIVING ORDERS - DEFAULT KEYS "Y", "X" AND "Q"
At various points in the game you will encounter potential
gang members. They will be easy to spot by their
distinctive gray-blue shirts. Once you approach them, use
the "y" key to initiate a positive conversation. If
available, they will tell you how much money you will
need to hire them. When they ask you if you want to hire
them, use the "y" key if you want them, the "x" key if
you do not. You will, of course, need enough money to
hire the particular gang member you desire.
Once hired, point your cursor at one of your gang
members and issue one of the following orders:
"Y" - Follow Me/Move out of the way
"X" - Hold Position
"Q" - Attack Desired Target/Open Lock or Safe
The last mode works as follows. Point the cursor at your
gang member, hit "q", then place your cursor on
the person you want attacked and hit the "f"
16 (activate) key.
ACTIVATE KEY - DEFAULT KEY "F"
All items that need to be used in Kingpin, including
switches, levers, doors, etc., will require using the activate
key. Simply approach the item you wish to activate and
press "f".
BODY SEARCH - DEFAULT KEYS "C" (CROUCH) +
"F" (ACTIVATE)
When you find a dead body on the ground, whether you
put it there or not, you should definitely give it a quick
search for money. You can accomplish this by crouching
down (holding down the "c" key) and then pressing "f",
which is the activate key. When killed, an enemy will
drop any other items that he is holding near him on the
ground, including keys, weapons and ammo. Money,
however, will have to be taken directly off of their bodies.
Tip: Bodies tend to get dragged off after a while, so search
them immediately upon finding them.
WEAPON RELOAD - DEFAULT KEY "R"
This feature works just like it sounds; pressing "r" will
cause the current weapon that you have displayed to
reload.
SNEAK MODE - DEFAULT KEY "LEFT SHIFT"
This is not a toggle; you must hold down the "sneak
mode" key for the duration of time that you want to use
it. While in "sneak mode", enemies cannot hear you
approach. This is, of course, extremely useful for
sneaking up behind someone and cracking their skull
open.
PUSHING/PULLING BOXES
Any small boxes that you see on the floor may be pushed
or pulled. To push a box, simply get behind it and move
forward. To pull a box, face it and hold down the "f"
(activate) key, then move backwards. If you find that you
are moving away from the box too fast, you can also hold
down the "L-Shift" (sneak) key to move slower.

AMMO CRATES watch your back; you never know who might be sneaking
up behind you.
You can tell an ammo crate by its distinctive green color
and rectangular shape. These crates hold ammunition of
various types, and will explode if shot. However, if you
use your pipe or crowbar on them, they will break apart
to reveal their contents. WEAPONS
